libusb-1.0.20 is used for the development kit. It isrecommended that you use Zadig to install WinUSBdriver for the development kit. You can also uselibusbK driver if you want to use both libftdi-0.1xand libftdi1-1.x. Please do not use libusb-win32device driver (libusb0.sys) since it does not workwell under libusb-1.0.20.

Take note that Peter Stuge is opposed to the libusbx fork and the merger of libusb/libusbx. He is no longer the maintainer of libusb project. But he still wants to maintain the rival libusb.org website.

I provided the Windows development kit download here. This time I have provided both the MinGW.org based 32bit development kit and MinGW-w64 based 32bit/64bit development kit. libusb-1.0.18 is used as the base for the libftdi1-1.1.
